Car dealers across the United States are warning President Joe Biden that his “unrealistic” green energy agenda must be abandoned, mainly because Americans are not buying Electric Vehicles (EVs) as the administration expected.
Executives with car dealerships from Massachusetts to Alabama to Wyoming sent a letter to Biden this week, urging his administration to drop EV mandates and green energy requirements on the auto industry, citing a lack of interest among American consumers in EVs.
“… we are asking you to slow down your proposed regulations mandating battery electric vehicle (BEV) production and distribution,” the car dealers tell Biden:
Your administration has proposed regulations that would essentially mandate a dramatic shift to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), increasing year after year until 2032, when two out of every three vehicles sold in America would have to be battery electric. [Emphasis added]
The reality, however, is that electric vehicle demand today is not keeping up with the large influx of BEVs arriving at our dealerships prompted by the current regulations. BEVs are stacking up on our lots. [Emphasis added]
According to the car dealers, “enthusiasm has stalled” with EVs and the number of unsold EVs sitting on dealership lots are piling up “even with deep price cuts, manufacturer incentives, and generous government incentives.”
If Barely There Joe were serious about it, he’d have the Corvette reconfigured to electric. But he’s not.
GREAT !!!! OIL GAS COAL Here to STAY !!!!!!
What took them so long to figure it out????
Not Buying Biden LIES either !!!!
ELECTRIC CHAIR needed (For Biden ) more than Electric Cars !!!!
Electric Chair with a FAST CHARGER needed !!!!
With a sidecar for Dr. Jill.
If the Dumbocrats stay in power, it won’t matter HOW many letters are sent…they will force the issue by regulations prohibiting combustion engines, or whatever their twisted minds can come up with, leaving only electric vehicles…with not enough power to juice them up since there will never be enough electricity without coal/oil/gas to produce the eletricity needed to power that many cars. Not to mention the destruction of the Earth from mining all the minerals to produce the batteries…
I would imagine that any dealership that put their name on that letter will soon face surprise government compliance inspections.
That’s called Bidenomics
Might be correct. But car dealers are often involved in local politics which then ties to state legislators’ pulse and to House of Representatives and Senators in DC. So it’s a shot across the bow to those facing election in near future. Glad they took this step.
